This is an actual conversation, as close as I can remember it, between myself and E over dinner last night...

Me: We are going to K's house to have cake because it is her birthday.E: It's my birthday today, too.Me: No, it's K's birthday.E: My birthday is March 14th.Me: That's right.E: But why isn't my birthday today?Me: Because today isn't March 14th. Today is September 23rd.E: Why?Me: E, these questions are so hard for Mommy. Maybe you should ask God why today is September 23rd.E: Where is he?Me: (Gasp) Well, that's hard to say. Some people say he's everywhere. Some people look up in the sky when they talk to him, because that's where heaven seems to be.E: Is he in the sky in church?Me: Yes, God is in church, too. People go to church to feel closer to God...Father John says words that make people feel close to God.E: Where is Father John?Me: I think he is at home eating his dinner.E: (Leaving the kitchen table with her piece of pizza) Can you go look for God in this house?Me: (Silence)E: (From the other room) Mommy? Where is he?Me: I'm not sure honey. I guess he's everywhere. He's in your heart, and he's in the hugs and kisses we give each other.E: (Returning to the table) Where is his kingdom come?Me: Well, his kingdom is heaven, and his kingdom come is a wonderful day when we can all be together with God in Heaven.E: Oh.Me: (Phew)

Remember, she's not yet three, not yet potty trained, and still drinks from a sippy cup. I am in BIG TROUBLE.

About Me

Just me, being me. Life is full of wonderful things...bare baby feet are at the top of the list. Sometimes I want to write about this amazing life, and sometimes I just want to complain. So I guess I'm just another average person, finding my way through life.
